So as a lot of you might know and some might not know, the annual Camp Bisco Festival is coming up really soon and I'm really excited for this year. For better or for worse they are letting us vote on the late night going down this year and I'm afraid that most people voting don't know who Derek Plaslaiko is but he really fucking deserves a late night. Also he will put on the best fucking set of the weekend regardless of his time slot but a later set would just be magical, anyway if everyone could help make my dream come true and vote for him that would be awesome. Thanks!!

One of my favorite newer bands to come out recently, their album "Sterling Postures" is def. on my list of best of the year so far. Make sure to check out this mix, I haven't listened yet but the tracklist is looking pretty tasty.

tracklisting might be a bit out of whack but whatever you're all smart people and can figure it out. Album is pretty enjoyable though upon first listen, lets hope they can translate this to a live setting a little better now a days. A few songs drag a bit but for the most part the album makes me want to skateboard on the beach carrying a huge flaming stick and stealing peoples towels as I fly by them.

I love when things happen, I was up all night staring at my computer with the intention of making something but ended up making nothing. Anyway around 6:somthingAM I got an email and as soon as I read "Camping in North Ikea" I knew I would like it. It was worth being up all night just so I could read that seconds after it dropped in my in box.

So I signed up for Twitter with the sole purpose of entering a contest to win a Camp Bisco Festival ticket and amazingly I won haha. Since I signed up and all now I figure I might as well start tweeting, will mostly be about upcoming shows, new mixes and new posts on here so if you're a twitter person as well, follow me. Thanks!

I know this is old but I saw these guys in Tokyo two years ago at club Ageha and I was just reminiscing about what an amazing and wild night/trip that was, plus this song is fucking great. I know there are at least two of you checking this blog out from Japan so "hey!" hopefully I'll be able to make it back out there next summer, getting things in line right now.

While I was in Baltimore for Starscape(which was amazing!!!) this was going on in my far off backyard

"For the first time ever, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Questlove teamed up for a very special performance at this years The Roots Picnic. I’m a fan of what Travis Barker has done with DJ AM (RIP) and A-Trak, so I was definitely curious to see what Jeff and Quest had cooked up. While Travis Barker’s projects are focused more on the party vibe, I feel Questlove and Jazzy Jeff were making a point to not only entertain, but to educate… and the outcome was phenomenal. They played everything- Jay-Z, A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock, The Pharcyde, Biggie, Kanye, Common, etc. and often played the original sample leading into the hip hop classic. Skillz served as hypeman for the occaison and did a great job getting the crowd involved without becoming overbearing. This is one rare gem you wont want to miss. Full download and stream of our exclusive recording after the jump." (All The Way Live)

So Doldrums are putting out a limited edition VHS Mixtape which is sounding really cool and you can pick up a copy right here and also download the mp3s. If you don't wanna order the VHS or if you're broke like me check it out in parts on you youtube.

The worlds turned upside down, the draining fire from hell rained upon us, lightning shooting upwards through our toes and out our eyes. A Party rages on in the only safe place under the overpass, everyone totally unfazed while totally faded.

I really can't believe I never heard of this guy before because this album is absolutely phenomenal and I'm so glad to have finally been put onto it. I'll try and dig up some other stuff by him in the coming days but for now dig your ears into this.

tendrils tighten around their necks, baked in sun and moon light non stop for 14 days. Keeping a minimal, borderline monotonous beat interesting is a very difficult thing, some people don't appreciate the subtleties, well fuck em they're missing out.
